Title: System and method for measurement of biological parameters of a subject
Inventor: FINE ILYA
IPC: A61B5/1455
Filed: 2007-06-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for use in monitoring of biological parameters of a subject. The system includes an illumination unit including at least one light source of at least one pre-selected wavelength band, to be applied to a selected region in the subject; and a detection system configured for measuring reflections of the light at different angles and different spatial locations with respect to the illuminated region. The detection system is configured and operable to detect spatially separated light components corresponding to the specular dependent component of the signal and the pulsatile-related diffused component of the signal coming from the subject in different directions respectively, thereby defining at least two independent channels of information, enabling identification of the reflected signal part dependent on motion effects.

Patent CA-2657401-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI HSIANG-TSUN
IPC: H04N13/271
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: A monoscopic low-power mobile device is capable of creating real-time stereo images and videos from a single captured view. The device uses statistics from an autofocusing process to create a block depth map of a single capture view. Artifacts in the block depth map are reduced and an image depth map is created. Stereo three-dimensional (3D) left and right views are created from the image depth map using a Z-buffer based 3D surface recover process and a disparity map which is a function of the geometry of binocular vision.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing the integrity of a weld securing a flange to the end of a pipe comprises a testing assembly and a reinforcement assembly. The testing assembly comprises a first sealing means positioned within the pipe and a second sealing means secured against the flange face to form a sealed region within the pipe with the region overlapping the weld. The reinforcement assembly comprises a circumferential clamp secured to the outer wall of the pipe and an anchor plate positioned opposite the flange. The first sealing means is connected to the anchor plate to prevent relative movement there-between. The anchor plate is connected to the clamp to prevent relative movement there-between. The weld test procedure comprises installing the apparatus, filling and pressurizing the sealed space and monitoring the pressure created therein. The reinforcement assembly prevents the first sealing member from being separated and allows a weld test to be performed without a compressive force being applied on the weld. The invention also provides a reinforced tool and method for isolating an end segment of a pipe.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de détection médical qui comprend un tube d'accès avec une lumière pour solution intraveineuse fluide et une sonde de détection qui peut être passée, à travers une seconde lumière, dans le tube d'accès, puis étendue dans le système vasculaire pour détecter un paramètre sanguin. La sonde de détection possède un capteur sur son extrémité distale et présente une forme qui lui permet de s'étendre depuis le tube d'accès, de sorte que le capteur est déplacé latéralement depuis le tube d'accès et hors du flux de solution intraveineuse. Si la sonde de détection passe à travers l'ouverture de la lumière au niveau de la pointe distale du cathéter, l'extrémité distale de la sonde se plie ou dévie autrement latéralement, de sorte que le capteur est déplacé latéralement par rapport au trajet d'écoulement de la solution intraveineuse. En variante, la sonde peut sortir d'un orifice latéral du tube d'accès situé en amont d'un orifice latéral pour solution intraveineuse. La sonde que l'on peut dévier est particulièrement utile pour détecter du glucose dans le sang par le biais d'un nombre quelconque de cathéters conventionnels standard.
